May is not the best month to travel to in Philippines. The weather in Coron, Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, Mindanao island (Dabaw), Bohol Island, Legaspi and Cagayán de Oro is OK but just acceptable. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain frequently. However, if you don't plan a pool & relaxation holiday but rather sightseeing or walking, this climate may be enough. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists dyring this month of may.
But it is finally better than in Tagaytay, Puerto Princesa, Angeles, Davao, Luzon island (Baguio), El Nido, Manila, Zamboanga, Quezon City, Baguio and Mindoro island (Puerto Galera) and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is really not advisable to travel to these areas this month.
